I did something similar and used a refresh tag to update the screen whilst the process was running ... it would show % completed (in text i.e. 25% etc).
I had my database processing running in a new thread. I had a session attribute BEEN_HERE, if that was null I start the process. When the process is complete and BEEN_HERE was not null I removed the attribute and forwarded to the next page.

I can run these files fine, but they take a few minutes to run... How can I tell the user when they have finished running? This seems to be a sort of push technology I am in need of, but maybe there is another way?. I can definitely tell them to wait for a few minutes, but how do I actually tell them when the process is done (since there is not another page request at this time.) Has anyone done something similar to this?
